Winner: Corey Fuller

Fuller continues on his strong senior season finishing with over 100 yards for the second time this year.

Not only is Fuller always around on third down when Thomas needs him, he makes plays down the field. He shows excellent hands, and with his speed he is tough to tackle in the open field.

It is truly a shame the former track standout is a senior because if he played football his entire career he would have been an outstanding college player. Fuller isn't just a possession receiver, he shows he is capable of playing outside or in the slot.

Winners: Defense

The Hokies' defensive front was dominant for much of the game and the team finished with five sacks and 11 tackles-for-loss. The Hokies held the Seminoles to 311 total yards.

They set the tone by often forcing Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel to throw the ball sooner than he would have liked.

James Gayle has been a different player for the past month. His renaissance has benefited each player along the defensive line and Gayle was in the backfield on several occasions.

The Hokies shut down the Florida State running game, forcing them to be one-dimensional and allowing them to tee off on Manuel.

Junior cornerback Antone Exum played another solid game. He brought physicality to the Florida State receivers every time they caught the ball. Exum isn't afraid to play bump-and-run coverage despite his struggles from earlier in the season.

Unfortunately for the Hokies, Manuel made the key plays when he had to and that was the difference in the game.

Loser: Marcus Davis

Steve Mitchell-US PRESSWIRE

Senior wide receiver Marcus Davis is such a talented player. Virginia Tech's offense is at its best when Davis gets the ball on several occasions. But, Davis was a liability with his performance against the Seminoles.

Things started out well for Davis as his 54-yard catch in the first quarter set up the Hokies' first score. After that catch, Davis had several issues holding onto the ball.

On a key third down, Thomas threw Davis a slant that hit him in the hands and he dropped it. Later, Davis had his defender beat down the left sideline and Thomas put one right over his shoulder. He couldn't hang onto it. Just by catching the ball, the Hokies would have been in field goal range.

Davis' third-quarter fumble is what hurt the Hokies the most. After catching a pass and getting the first down, Davis was carrying the ball loosely in one hand when the Florida State defensive back tackled him and the ball came loose.

The Seminoles would score a touchdown off the turnover.

The Hokies need consistency from Davis; that has been the knock on him the last two years.
